If a Force is applied to a body, it will cause that body to
move or rotate. A body that is already moving will change
its speed or direction.
F = ma
F is the force, m = mass of body and a = acceleration.
EFFECT OF AN APPLIED FORCE

EQUILIBRIUMS
If at any stage a system of forces is applied to a
body, such that their resultant is zero, then that body
will not accelerate or change direction. The systemof forces and the body are said to be in the
euilibrium.
Note: This does not mean that there are no forcesacting! it is "ust that their total resultant or effect is
zero.

RESOLUTION OF FORCESTwo forces can be !!e! to give a single force #nown
as the $esultant, it is obvious that this single force can be
considered as the addition of the two original forces.

RAPHICAL SOLUTIONS
• The uantities must be vector uantities.• They must all be the same, i.e. all forces, or all velocities,
etc. )they cannot be mi*ed&up+.
• A suitable scale representing the m*n&t"!e of the vector
uantity should be selected.
• %efore drawing a olygon of vectors, a reference or datum
direction should be defined.

RAPHICAL SOLUTIONS CONT
• To derive a solution )i.e. a resultant+, proceed to draw thelines representing the vectors.
• The resultant is determined by measuring the magnitude
and direction of the line drawn from the st%t point to the
+&n&s point.
